Just wondering whether to try and adjust our daily routine, at bedtime it's taking forever to settle her, for example, we have been trying to settle her since half 8 and its now 10:50pm and she won't sleep, won't go in her crib without screaming etc. When we pick her up she either cries still or smiles and tries to play

All these babies sleeping through and then there’s mine who takes short naps and still doesn’t sleep through🫠

Bedtime between 7&8pm, depending on naps that day and also sleepy cues, will sometimes take up as early as 6.45/50 if tired and give bottle
Usually wakes between 9&10pm for bottle, 4/5oz, if doesn’t wake I give dreamfeed around 10pm of 4/5oz
Can wake at 12, or 1 or 2 and then again at 4 or 5 but every night is different

may be of no help at all but maybe baby is waking out of habit rather than hunger? My EBF baby was waking constantly throughout the night and I would just feed on demand until HV suggested it was just through habit. He now has a feed at 7pm and the next feed (at earliest) is 5am but mostly around 6/6:30am.
When he woke up I would just cuddle and settle him back down unless I thought he was genuinely hungry. After a few nights he stopped waking for feeds.

@Elle so her morning nap is about 1hr-1.5hr max and then 1hr in the afternoon. As she sleeps 12 hours at night she doesn't need as much sleep in the day. It just naturally worked
